SCN2A
Comorbidities
Comorbidities are symptoms or conditions that occur at the same time. SCN2A-related disorders may have one or more of these.
Comorbidities may be discovered before or after the genetic diagnosis of an SCN2A-related disorder. The direct, or causal, relationship between symptoms, conditions, and genetics is not always clear. This is an important area of research. FamilieSCN2A provides information and education in many of these areas.
